Genre bending trad music. An eclectic Irish-American band with members from varied facets of the rich Twin Cities music scene.

Irish Diplomacy shines when playing original material you’d swear came from the tradition, pulling Appalachian and Irish roots together, or adding a twist to an old chestnut.

Leslie Rich and the Rocket Soul Choir
2025-01-09 20:00 - 23:00
Leslie Rich (vocals, guitar, keyboards) grew up in Northern Ireland, listening to a mix of indie rock, acoustic songwriters and traditional Celtic music. Inspired by artists like Luka Bloom and Throwing Muses, Leslie became the principal songwriter, singer and guitarist for bands such as Emily Ryder, A Little Of The Ready and the Celtic folk band Hounds of Finn, recording on various labels including Immortal Recordings, Time To Be Proud Records, New Folk Records and Loud Folk Records.
He founded the Rocket Soul Choir in 1994, mainly as an acoustic response to the heavy, guitar-driven, Irish bands cropping up at that time. Even while Leslie recorded solo albums, played in other projects and relocated to Minneapolis, the Rocket Soul Choir continued in various configurations over the years–always with the mission to create stripped-down rock. The band has released four albums, including the 2016 EP Kidder’s Son, which received high praise on both sides of the pond, and their new album The Butcher Boy – the first featuring the current lineup.

Having established himself as an adept slide guitar player, Mike Munson is steeped in the country blues tradition. His original works weave together dark lyrics, impossibly fast-paced finger-picking and grinding rhythms.
